I fear there is going to be a lot of stupidity around masks

There's a video of an American woman who's ripped a hole in hers to make it easier to breath. She tells a man that and he says great idea ill do that too.

We should just be laughing at America; the stupid is here... :
“Your mask is to protect everyone else from your breath droplets, in case you’re poorly and don’t know.”
“Yeah, but, it won’t stop me getting it, so...”

Is this real? My son told me about this yesterday. I thought he was joking!

Good grief.

Looks really, can't say whether it is. They're in a shop

It looks real, the cashiers are taking the piss when he says "I'll do that too. Thanks for the advice" You can hear them snigger as they speak!

She looks bloody weird though!

I’m going to have something as loose as possible and not hooked on my ears which will hopefully make it more comfortable and less like I’m being suffocated and I’ll be less likely to fiddle with it!
I'm trying to work out how that's going to work. If it's loose, it will shift so you'll fiddle with it to move it back in place.
I've made the basic pleated ones with ear elastic and once on, it doesn't move so I can confidently say I did a Tesco shop without needing to adjust and touch it.
Of course I do have the advantage of quite large ears to loop elastic round securely.
It must be harder for people with dainty little ears.

I meant like one of the snood things rather than a mask. That will be unbearable enough, but I really can't bear the thought of something pulled tight across my face. I can then pull the snood down as soon as I'm out of the shop so it's not covering my face.

I've got one of those snoods for winter sport. Some are great at staying up, some are rubbish.
